IDF orders 14 villages in southern Lebanon evacuated as it prepares more attacks

The Israeli army has ordered residents of fourteen villages in southern Lebanon to evacuate “immediately” for their “own safety.”

The IDF has repeatedly issued evacuation orders during its air and ground offensive aimed at attacking Hezbollah infrastructure in southern Lebanon.

In the latest warning, IDF Arab spokesman Avichay Adraee said residents of the 14 villages north of the Awali River should flee.

“Anyone who comes close to Hezbollah elements, facilities or weapons puts their life in danger,” he said in a message to X.

“You are forbidden to go south. Any move south could be dangerous to your life. We will inform you in due course that you can return to your homes as soon as conditions are right,” he wrote.

Last night, Hezbollah issued a similar warning, ordering residents to leave their homes in 25 towns in northern Israel that they said had become “legitimate military targets.”
